Rape Crisis group backs MEPs' call to ban porn

It emerged yesterday that Kartika Liotard, an MEP linked with the Confederal Group of the European United Left, has tabled a proposal demanding “statutory measures to prevent any form of pornography in the media and in advertising, and for a ban on advertising for pornographic products and sex tourism”, with the scope of any ban to include the “digital field”.

It comes as Icelandic politicians began debating a possible pornography ban in that country and as a recent study here indicated that children are viewing pornography at a much younger age than before.
